She's also up for both the Country and Pop/Rock Favorite Female Artist and Favorite Album awards.

Florida Georgia Line is vying Single of the Year with their "Cruise" remake featuring Nelly and New Artist of the Year - which are both all-genre categories. Their other bids are for Favorite Band, Duo, or Group - Country and Favorite Album - Country.

Other country stars could be honored as well. Luke Bryan has a pair of nominations, for Favorite Male Artist - Country and Favorite Album - Country. Blake Shelton, Lady Antebellum, and Hunter Hayes are also nominees, along with Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, The Band Perry, and Mumford & Sons.

The fan-voted American Music Awards will be presented at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles. Balloting is under way now at ama.votenow.tv. The ceremony will air on ABC on November 24th.
